History
Established in 1997.
Hi, my name is Tim Fletcher and I am the owner and sole proprietor of Get Down Fishing Charters. I have been offering Port Canaveral, Florida fishing charters since 1997. I enjoy introducing my clients to the great offshore fishing the Cocoa Beach area has to offer. I especially enjoy teaching children and families the sport of fishing. I strive to maintain a clean, well-maintained vessel and pledge an energetic interaction with you and your guests. Kick back, relax and know that you will be well served.
Meet the Business Owner: Tim F.
After college, I moved to Florida in 1990 from my home town in Georgia. I spent several years in the audiovisual services field while also serving as a commercial lobster diver and mate on a local charter boat. It wasn't long before I decided that the corporate life wasn't for me, so I obtained my USCG OUPV license and started my own charter service in 1997. In 2008, I completed my MBA and shortly thereafter obtained my PADI dive instructor's license and Diver's Alert Network instructor's license. In addition to operating my charter service, I am a current Diving Safety Officer with the American Academy of Underwater Sciences. I have trained over 300 divers and currently oversee 120+ active science divers for the Florida Institute of Technology - a local university. In 2012, I became a proud father and enjoy spending my time off with my son, Levi and my wife Lesley.
